What is the baseline price i should pay for timing readjustment? I would lovfe to do it my self but i dont have the resources available to me anymore, my dad sold all the tools > and i have no timing light.

what is a fair price for timing adjustment? i trust this mech, he has a bad *** 69 camaro ss and also does work for zztop, their red 30s ford cpe hotrod. so i know hes on the level

Unless someone from houston or surrounding areas has the equippment and willingness to teach an aspiring shadetree mech.
or at least walk me through the process

 

Its cake. You could buy a timing light for less than a mechanic will charge you in labor.

 

your right i just bought one from ebay 25 bucks

thanks for the help. now that i bought the light i will be back when it comes in for more help and clarity on the actual procedure

 

Most dealships will charge $30 to change your timing. Not all of them, even if they are GM certified, will do it right either. You can buy a gun for much less.

 

Well i ordered the gun all i am waitin for now is for it to come in sometime next week so ill be workin on it then, any by the by which spark plugs do you guy recommend or shall i say do you use

 

I would just get good ol' delco's

 

what he said


I run R43TS exclusively

 

cool thanks guys man it sucks when your only car saavy friend is your best friend;s girl, i cant really talk cars too much with her with out someone gettin a wrong idea.

all of my friends drive ricers so its nice to be the one with the cajones in the group oh yea if anyone is interested in a 1970 olds cutlass s with a 350 or maybe even 400 the interior is **** has some rust but man i drove this car a few times and i smoked a 4th gen z28 with ease, i would love to have this car as a project as well but one at a time. i will let this car go for 1500 or less

 

A chick thats into cars, come on friend or not, make a move on that

 

yea she loves my birdy

 

And with a timing gun you can expirement with it to find out where it will run best at.

 

like at different "times"

 

or you could use diffrent "times" and diffrent "times"
